Hey! It's been a while since I've posted about my game, so I've made a little video showing off what I've added since last time!


I was still mostly working on my level editor, but now that it's mostly working, I can focus more on the game itself.

I've also implemented a simple(ish) configuration format that's basically a .ini file, but with types.

The types dictate how the text to the right of the = sign gets parsed, which makes for less visual noise compared to something like json.

Though, I have to code the parser of each type myself. For instance, for the color type, I had to write a function that takes a string, converts the hex code into a set of numbers (emitting a fitting error message if it can't parse it) and returns a color object.

But once that's done, these are reusable. I've even implemented an alias type that allows you to specify a convenient name for a more complex type (types can receive arguments with the <> syntax).

Next up

This week I spent working on a level editor and simple SVG converter. I've also updated some graphics, as the previous ones were hard coded draw calls.

There's still a lot to be done for the editor.

I've figured that Tiled isn't gonna be ideal for making levels for my game, so I'm working on a custom level editor. The graphics are a leftover from the Ludum Dare version and will be revamped with time. #indiedev #gamedev

Music will be a big part of STACK_TRACE, so even though I barely have anything done, I decided to prototype some music. It's a very rough idea.

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Ya like PONG? Well I'm making a clone of it!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

I made this game back in #ldjam 48 (about a year ago). I've now decided to make it into a full game! I have nothing of note to show yet, but here's some footage from the jam version!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.
